brass-balled[edit]

Sum of parts. The form <x>-balled, where <x> can represent anything "hard" such as a rock, can be used to denote something done courageously. TeleComNasSprVen 04:20, 23 May 2011 (UTC)Reply

Although I tend to agree a little, WT:CFI says "An expression is “idiomatic” if its full meaning cannot be easily derived from the meaning of its separate components." --Mglovesfun (talk) 10:42, 23 May 2011 (UTC)Reply
